Insider Reveals Tatum’s Gambit in the MCU and Which X-Men to Expect in Avengers Lineup

Before the release of Deadpool & Wolverine, the MCU only hinted at the idea of mutants, but it was never as clear as it is now. There were lots of references and Easter eggs about the X-Men, but this new movie made it much more obvious.

We already have a few mutants in the MCU, like Kamala Khan and Namor, who will probably appear in future movies. There were also cameos from Professor X and Beast in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and The Marvels.

It’s clear now that mutants and the X-Men will play a major role in the MCU’s next Saga. Kevin Feige himself has said that the era of mutants has begun.

A live-action reboot is being written by Michael Lesslie, and while we don’t know much about the team or their stories yet, insiders are always ready to share what they know about the future.

In a recent Discord AMA, Alex Perez talked about mutants. One question asked about the X-Men and which members might join the Avengers. Since there are so many X-Men, it’s not realistic to have them all in the Avengers team.

Perez confirmed that Charles Xavier and Beast will definitely be part of the Avengers. He also mentioned hearing that Channing Tatum’s Gambit might be included, though that’s not fully confirmed yet.

Alex Perez: Charles Xavier and Beast for sure are in it. I heard we’re getting Tatum’s Gambit as well. Outside of that, not 100% sure yet.

This is great news for Tatum’s Gambit, especially since he’s been pushing for either his own movie or a role in the main MCU. Fans are excited about the idea too.

The next question was about an old rumor suggesting that the X-Men used to exist in the MCU but were removed from the Sacred Timeline by He Who Remains. Perez confirmed that while the X-Men were taken out of the timeline and will be brought back after Secret Wars, existing mutants like Ms. Marvel and Namor will still be part of the MCU.

RedGyarados2010: In the past, you’ve teased that the Sacred Timeline created by HWR removed the X-Men, and they will be restored in a post-SW soft reboot. How will this affect existing mutants such as Ms. Marvel and Namor?

Alex Perez: They’ll still exist.
